Zhang and Gu used four cohorts to examine associations between skeletal muscle strength (SMS) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) in people with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). Higher handgrip/muscle strength is closely associated with a lower prevalence and incidence of CKD in people with MASLD.
